getting started - workouts & plans

ShrinkingAspirations

Anyone know any good sites to develop a workout routine?
Sadly I must admit I never have actually worked out properly. I was naturally skinny my whole life. until age kicked in haha. Now i realize the importance of it. and have no idea where to start. My neighborhood has a limited amount of equipment but I do not plan on joining a gym (saving up for a wedding$$).

#1 is to decide on what your goals are. No one here can recommend a decent workout routine unless we know what you want out of it all, and how you define "fitness".

This is an excellent website, everything you could possibly think of explained, they guide you to make informed decisions as a beginner- has plenty of training at home articles too!

Completely agree with amanda. It is almost the workout version of mfp. A lot of great programs that can be tracked and a lot of great support. I am currently on my 2nd program and got others lined up all through 2015

As an at-home exercise enthusiast, I'm partial to www.fitnessblender.com (videos) and www.neilarey.com (visual charts).

My thoughts on developing a routine: Find something you enjoy and do it. It's not worth it if you don't like it.
